Whether you manage a busy commercial premises, operate within the healthcare sector, or maintain public spaces, clear and visible signage plays a vital role in preventing injuries and promoting awareness.

At Express Cleaning Supplies, we stock bright, easy-to-read warning signs that comply with current UK safety regulations. Each sign is manufactured from robust materials and printed with bold, eye-catching graphics, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding environments. From wet floor stands and slippery surface signs to general caution notices, our selection provides effective solutions for every area of your site.

Promoting Safety and Compliance

Accidents can happen anywhere, but simple steps such as displaying the correct warning signage can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury. Employers and building managers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 to provide clear and consistent safety warnings where risks cannot be eliminated. Our warning signs help you fulfil these obligations by drawing immediate attention to hazards.

Each warning sign is designed with bright yellow backgrounds and universally recognised symbols, making them instantly understandable regardless of language or literacy level. By investing in professional signage, you demonstrate your commitment to creating a safe, well-managed environment for everyone who enters your premises.

Types of Warning Signs Available

We offer a comprehensive selection of warning and hazard signs, suitable for many industries and applications. Popular choices among our customers include:

• Wet Floor and Cleaning in Progress Signs: Essential for janitorial and maintenance teams, these folding floor stands alert people to slippery surfaces after mopping or spillages. They are easy to position and store, making them ideal for everyday use in offices, shops, hospitals and schools.
• Electrical Hazard and High Voltage Signs: Designed for areas containing live equipment, circuits and electrical panels, these ensure contractors and employees are aware of potential risks.
• Chemical and Biohazard Signs: Perfect for laboratories, healthcare settings and cleaning cupboards that contain hazardous substances.
• Construction and Maintenance Signs: Notify staff and visitors of potential dangers such as falling objects, restricted zones or uneven floors.
• General Workplace Warning Signs: From mind-your-head notices to trip hazard alerts, these signs help minimise everyday risks in corridors, stairwells and warehouses.

Materials and Durability

Our warning signs are built to last. Constructed from tough, long-life plastics, rigid PVC or weather-resistant laminates, they can withstand moisture, sunlight and frequent handling. The printing is fade-resistant and easy to clean, ensuring that your message remains visible and professional at all times. Portable A-frame signs are lightweight yet sturdy, making them simple to transport between locations. Wall-mounted options come with pre-drilled holes or self-adhesive backing for quick installation on doors, walls or equipment.

For facilities exposed to heavy footfall or outdoor conditions, we also stock heavy-duty options with anti-slip bases and reinforced hinges for added stability. These are particularly useful for leisure centres, transport hubs and healthcare environments where spills and cleaning tasks occur regularly.

Compliant Design and Clear Messaging

All our warning signs follow standard UK and EU safety mark formats, ensuring compliance with BS EN ISO 7010 guidelines. Each uses consistent symbols, colour codes and layout so that the message is instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with health and safety best practice. The universal triangular icon and black hazard symbol on a yellow background communicate danger quickly and clearly, supporting an inclusive and accessible safety approach.

Where applicable, bilingual or text-only designs are also available to suit specialist requirements. For facilities managers and safety officers, having compliant signage in place reduces liability and helps maintain audit-readiness during inspections.

Supporting Workplace Health and Hygiene

Warning signs play an important role not only in accident prevention but also in maintaining hygiene standards. In sectors such as catering, hospitality and healthcare, wet floor signs remind staff to take extra care during cleaning while alerting customers to temporary hazards. During deep cleaning or infection control procedures, warning notices can help restrict access to affected areas, preventing cross-contamination and promoting effective hygiene management.

Combined with appropriate first aid kits, personal protective equipment and cleaning solutions available from Express Cleaning Supplies, safety signage forms an integral part of a complete risk management plan. Our specialist team can offer advice on selecting the right combination of products to meet your organisation’s specific requirements.

Choosing the Right Warning Sign

To ensure your signage is effective, consider where and how it will be used. For temporary hazards such as freshly mopped floors, a lightweight folding sign is ideal. For permanent risks like electrical panels or slippery loading docks, opt for a rigid wall-mounted sign. Always position signage in clear view and at eye level wherever possible. Regularly check that signs are clean, legible and in good condition, replacing any that have faded or become damaged.

Assess each area of your site for recurring hazards to determine which signs are necessary. Combining visual signs with safe working procedures and staff training creates a culture of awareness and accountability.
